Pepper white with plenty of black options, and rather a stripper: 6spd, leatherette, the basics really. The first owner seems to have sprung more for the aesthetic stuff though I have no idea if it was a cost-free option for things like the black roof and stripes.

In any case, I bought it at a local dealership for $14k with 55k miles and 0 service history. It drove so well I figured it'd be fine. Come to find out today, at East Bay Mini, it has been Mini-serviced its whole life and has the ext maintenance plan til next October! Score!! Monday she has an appointment at the doctor for a brake fluid flush.

In any case, I love it and it drives so well, so nice to have a small/light/nimble car again. Taking her to my local detailer next week for a proper paint correction and protection "spa" day. Also doing trans fluid and coolant flush next week just to give her a lil more pampering.





Can't wait to get my mod hands busy with this thing... :D

 

Welcome to NAM.

The other women in your life know you have a new girlfriend?

 

They don't need to know, or need to get on board. :P

edit: I'm single btw, except for the cars, they get all my attention.

 

Welcome!


pst.... the car is better...


Motor On!

 

Thanks I absolutely love this thing!

 

Great! Keep us posted on the mods!

 

Will do!

Welcome to NAM! I am here if you ever need anything.

 

Wow congrats, it has the MINI hampton edition wheels. nice find.

 

Thanks guys!

I just de-striped her (the orig stripes were goners, perm water spots and swirl city).





I'm not a HUGE fan of the wheels, and they have a ton of curb rash. But they'll do for now. I'd really like to get her some 18x8 OZ Superturismos in black.

 

Congrats, looks great and I love the no sunroof. Wish my R55 didn't have the sunroof.
